Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Danijela Schenker. We discuss the different therapies for skin rejuvenation such as at-home micro-needling and softwave therapy.She also explains why we should care for our skin sooner, her at-home approach to micro-needling, the downside of collagen overdosing, working on your skin from the inside out, and how to improve your skin barrier. Danijela Schenker is a former ICU nurse for twenty years and nursing instructor, turned beauty biohacker, and health visionary, ten years ago. Optimizing beauty, health, and well-being is her passion.Key Takeaways:Beware of collagen overdose if you’re practicing at-home micro-needling. You need to reconsider the intervals at which you subject your skin to this treatment. Micro-needling uses thin needles to make tiny holes in the top layer of your skin. The damage helps stimulate your skin's healing process, so it produces more collagen and elastin. However, doing this too often without sufficient breaks in between will eventually result in an over-production of collagen that causes the tightening and thickening of your skin. This will cause your skin to stretch, thicken, and harden.Are you working from the inside out - or the outside in? From gut health to cell senescence, there are biological processes in our body that are behind most skin issues. However, since we only see the symptoms of these inside problems on the outside of our bodies, i.e. our skin, the beauty industry is very much focused on the end results and what happens to the skin on a topical level.The studies prove it: you only need to integrate these 2 simple ingredients in your skincare routine to repair your skin barrier - and upkeep it. First, you should use a moisturizer that contains ceramides as it restores the lipid composition of the skin. Ceramides are waxy lipids found in especially high concentrations in the stratum corneum. Another productive way to keep your skin barrier in top shape is to use humectants. They work by drawing water and binding it to the skin barrier. Products that contain hyaluronic acid, like Young Goose’s Adaptogenic HA Firming Boost Serum, keep your skin hydrated. What we discuss:01:16: How does Danijela perceive her clinic?02:00: When did Danijela’s clinic open?04:54: What are the core services Danijela’s clinic offers?07:36: What other protocols are useful for skin rejuvenation?09:25: What is softwave therapy?12:13: Why should we care for our skin sooner?14:02: What is Danijela’s approach to at-home micro-needling?26:35: What is Danijela’s approach toward the longevity of our skin?31:26: What are Danijela’s plans for the future?To learn more about Danijela:Instagram: @forever_beautiful_by_scienceWebsite: https://foreverbeautiful.ch/To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by JDr. Chris Shade. We discuss how mercury toxicity impacts your body and your skin. We also share how one can detoxify their body from this toxin. Christopher Shade, Ph.D., is the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific®. He specializes in the biological, environmental, and analytical chemistry of mercury in all its forms and its interactions with sulfur compounds, particularly glutathione, and its enzyme system.What we discuss:05:51: About Dr. Shade15:21: How does mercury affect the skin?22:24: How does mercury toxicity impact your body?32:03: How can we get glutathione levels up?36:41: Why should someone be interested in the pre-care of molecules?42:57: How to detoxify your body with supplements and topicals?51:35: Where can you learn more about Dr. Shade?Key Takeaways:Humans tend to find two different types of mercury in our bodies. The first is Methylmercury, which is an organic form of mercury. It is the most common form of mercury in fish and is present in some types of fish at concentrations. The second kind is mercury which tends to be found in dental amalgam fillings. They are often used to fill cavities and are known to release a small amount of mercury vapor. Amalgam can also release small amounts of mercury vapor during chewing. Both types of mercury have the potential to impair human health. Glutathione is an antioxidant produced in cells, mainly in the liver. It's comprised largely of three amino acids: glutamine, glycine, and cysteine. Glutathione levels in the body tend to reduce over time due to aging but can also be due to poor nutrition, environmental toxins, and stress. When your body is dealing with a high level of mercury toxicity, these glutathione levels decrease. This causes a domino effect of biological processes to kick off, predominantly telomeres shortening and cell senescence. Mercury toxicity is causing you to age prematurely. When high levels of mercury are found in the body, this causes your body to release oxidative stress, which may stimulate the senescent cell cycle. If you can regenerate the high antioxidant production in the body, you can reverse this process and prevent the further production of senescent cells. You can achieve this by boosting your glutathione levels.  To learn more about Dr. Shade:Website: https://www.drchrisshade.com/ Instagram: @dr.christophershadeTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined and interviewed by Jodi Duval–which originally aired on the the Revital Health Podcast. The two discuss how you can optimize how your skin behaves by providing it with the right building blocks for your skin to function well and not only appear younger but behave younger.Jodi Duval is the Head Naturopath and owner of Revital Health. She is also the CEO of HomeHope Australia, host of the Revital Health Podcast, and lecturer at Endeavour College.What we discuss:01:10: How did Young Goose start?09:40: What’s the science and difference behind quality skincare products?21:26: Which key ingredients do Young Goose products contain?30:50: What are indications of the skincare working?33:17: What is Amitay’s perspective of peptides?45:10: What is skin trauma?58:03: What are the possible harms of skincare?1:08:14: What can you do to optimize your skin?1:23:34: How can you support your skin’s health from an internal perspective?Key Takeaways:Resveratrol is a naturally-occurring compound present in grapes, some berries, and other fruits and nuts. This plant compound acts as an antioxidant. But what people don’t know is that when applied to the skin, we don’t benefit from the resveratrol itself, but from the defense mechanism of the plant compound. It acts as an antioxidant and thus can protect cells against oxidative damage of free radicals and UV radiation on the skin by reducing the expression of AP-1 and NF-kB factors. It also slows down the process of photoaging the skin. Glycation is a process that is caused by the presence of excess glucose in skin fibers. This excess triggers an internal reaction in which sugar molecules adhere to the collagen and elastin proteins, which normally help keep skin firm and supple. As a direct result of glycation, our skin becomes more rigid which may increase the appearance of concerns such as puffiness, loss of elasticity, wrinkles, and fine lines.Both mineral and chemical sunscreen technically do the job, they aren’t made equally! Mineral sunscreens allow your skin to detoxify itself in a way that chemical sunscreen does NOT. With this process being crucial for your body’s detoxification process, you can’t afford to go the chemical sunscreen route.Skin trauma is the process in which the skin shows the appearance of past emotional traumas. Whether they are from repressed emotions or the expression of many negative emotions over time, these tend to manifest in the skin through different types of fine lines and wrinkles on one’s skin. To learn more about Jodi:Instagram: @ketoconWebsite: https://www.revitalhealth.com.au/ Podcast: To learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Robin Switzer.Robin Switzer has built KetoCon into one of the most highly regarded health conferences in the U.S. It takes place in Austin, Texas, every year. The event typically hosts thousands of vendors, brands, speakers, influencers, and participants over three days to engage with other health-conscious peopleKey Takeaways:Most Americans have a serious problem with mastering delayed gratification as we live in the age of instant gratification and on-demand dopamine-producing activities. But what’s important to remember is that everything you are feeling, whether you feel energized or tired, is a result of all the micro-decisions you made in the past years. If you’re not happy with the result of those micro-decisions, you can still turn them around. It all starts with acquiring the knowledge on how to do that, first.Being able to identify yourself within a community may be one of the ultimate hacks for improving your lifespan. The reason why is that when you become part of a community that is congruent with the lifestyle you want for yourself, it significantly reduces the amount of brainpower it takes for you to make a decision. This is because as humans, we naturally compare ourselves to those around us and if we strategically place ourselves around the people we want to be like and whose beliefs and values align with ours - we will naturally take the same decisions. Most of us think of health or being healthy as being able to live as long as possible. We consider living another 40 years in pain as a better alternative to living another healthy 30 years. But the truth is that health is NOT simply living as long as possible. Health is about living well. What we discuss:04:35: How did Robin decide to produce KetoCon?09:34: What did Robin see in this business?21:27: What is exciting about this year at KetoCon?28:57: What is the structure of the conference?35:00: How should guests approach the conference?39:34: Should you purchase a VIP pass?44:15: Should you stay in Austin?48:12: Where to learn more about KetoCon?To learn more about Robin Switzer + KetoCon:Use code YOUNGGOOSE50 to get tickets at https://www.ketocon.org/ketocon-2023/Instagram: @ketoconTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Josh J Holland.Joshua J Holland is a wealth of experiential knowledge and wisdom. As a dedicated biohacker, state-of-the-art fitness trainer, holistic health coach, and sports professional, he champions the philosophy of “awareness through experience,” and has subsequently spent years consulting with elite professionals to build a vast well from which to draw when evoking alignment of body, mind, and spirit for his clients.Key Takeaways:The ultimate foundation of health is self-awareness. It is through inquiring within that the initial awareness shift happens which allows us to take control of our health. We do a lot of things in our daily lives incorrectly unconsciously, until we become conscious of it. The good news is we’re not stuck in our old habits and ways forever - once we become conscious of them, this newly found awareness provides us with the ability to consciously optimize our efforts. This applies to physical movements such as squats as much as it does to skincare. For example, you may not realize that you are unconsciously tugging at your delicate under-eye skin area too roughly when applying your eye cream, but once you do become conscious of it, you can turn that around.Incorporating exercise into your health optimization protocol should be approached from a movement or play perspective rather than from an exercise perspective. Plus, moving when you feel like it rather than exercising when you think you should allows you to stay consistent. Blood circulation is something that is vital to the health of your skin and which is stimulated through exercise. Blood delivers the necessary nutrients to our skin to defend itself and fight the signs of premature aging. Poor circulation usually entails a decrease in reparative qualities as the waste removal system and healing process will also be weakened. This increases the risk of inflammation within the skin, which may cause breakouts or eczema. If there is a barrier deficiency or even a wound, the lack of proper nutrient delivery to the skin may also result in an inability to repair itself. Thus, the importance of getting movement in daily.What we discuss:06:40: About Josh09:55: How did Josh evolve into who he is today?23:06: What is the awareness shift?31:52: How does Josh link his system to the psyche?38:06: What to do once you remove your shoes?47:07: What is the foundation of movement in Josh’s protocol?50:45: Are joint rolls something you should be doing daily?58:30: Where to get more from Josh?1:02:00: How does increased blood circulation impact skin health?1:02:51: How does movement impact the lymphatic system?1:03:57: How does movement impact sweating?1:04:33: What skincare routine is ideal for working out?To learn more about Josh:Book: The Awareness ShiftWebsite: https://www.joshuajholland.com/ Podcast: Simply Walk The Talk Instagram: @joshuajhollandTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com

Welcome to another episode of the Biohacking Beauty podcast brought to you by Young Goose Skincare! In this episode, host Amitay Eshel, the CEO of Young Goose, is joined by Dr. Molly Maloof.Dr. Maloof is the founder and CEO of Adamo Bioscience, a company pioneering the science of love. She provides personalized medicine to world-class entrepreneurs, investors, and technology executives in Silicon Valley. Since 2012, she has worked as an advisor or consultant to over 50 companies in the digital health, consumer health, and biotechnology industries. She teaches a course on healthspan at the Medical School at Stanford University.Key Takeaways:Women have different biological processes in their bodies from men, such as the production of estrogen and other types of hormones as well as a menstrual cycle that is likely to impact their body’s ability to reap the benefits of certain biohacking protocols. They must consider this and adapt accordingly.Women go through four different stages in their menstrual cycle where their bodies simply can’t handle the same consistent amount of stress, whether it is physical or emotional, at every stage of their cycle. As result, women may not be performing at their absolute best nor reaping the most benefits from their efforts to be in good health if they disregard their menstrual cycle. This is the complete opposite of men, who can take on stressors at any time and be able to push through. Skin autofluorescence is a non-invasive biomarker often used in the medical field as a diagnostic tool for different health concerns, such as diabetes, heart disease, and cognitive impairment among other things. But what most people don’t know is that when your overall health is in top shape, skin autofluorescence is responsible for that glowing skin you have! Glowing of any kind whether it be your skin or your hair being glossy is an important biomarker for good health.What we discuss:04:30: About Dr. Maloof’s book05:50: What themes does Dr. Maloof cover in her new book?12:15: How should biohacking be approached by women?19:25: The skew about women's representation in medical research21:02: Which biomarkers should women track?25:22: How can you improve gut health?28:52: What is metabolic flexibility?34:00: Do women have a different relationship with stress than men?37:59: How do you recover from stress?40:38: What are the latest emerging biohacking strategies?42:36: What does Dr. Maloof think of Methylene Blue?45:12: What other supplements does Dr. Maloof take?49:50: What does Dr. Maloof do to improve brain function?51:55: What is Dr. Maloof’s experience with psychedelics?58:02: Are we working hard enough for dopamine and serotonin?1:00:43: Is sugar a drug?1:06:22: What is the next thing Dr. Maloof plans to work on?01:09:55: More about Dr. MaloofTo learn more about Dr. Maloof:Book: The Spark Factor: The Secret to Supercharging Energy, Becoming Resilient, and Feeling Better Than EverWebsite: https://drmolly.co/ Instagram: @drmolly.coTo learn more about Young Goose:Website: https://www.younggoose.com/Instagram: @young_goose_skincareGet 20% off your first purchase by using code PODCAST20 at www.younggoose.com
